Snapchat became really choppy.. - P8lite Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey.
Me and a friend of mine, own a P8 Lite. Yesterday we both got the same problem with Snapchat. Video recording is really, really choppy (laggy), like 2-3fps. Keep in mind that before that it worked as smooth as it should.
You could say it's updates fault, but it can't be.
My P8 Lite is 5.1, rooted, with Xposed and Snapprefs (I have older Snapchat version)
Her P8 Lite is 5.1, not rooted, brand new with stock rom. (She has newest Snapchat version)
I tried:
Rebooting
Reinstalling
Logging in once again
Clearing data of app
Deleting SD Card content
Clearing Dalvik Cache
Using NuPlayer in developer mode (instead of AwesomePlayer by default)
And none of those worked. Interesting enough, it happens only in Snapchat. In any other app like Camera or Messenger it's fine. Snapchat app runs smooth until recording videos with both - back and frontface camera.
Neither me or her updated any apps. The last update we've done was like 1 week ago and it was: YouTube, Messenger and Facebook.
I really need a solution for that, because she is a bit known snapchatter and also I want to have some fun too.
Ideas?

I don't have a Snapchat so I don't have idea what is the cause of it. But have you tried updating your phone to Android 6.0.

Since 6.0.1 Update, Instagram/SnapChat no longer save photos to device after upload

Don't know if anybody else is having this issue but ever since updating to 6.0.1, whenever I post something to Instagram or SnapChat the pic/video does not save to my 6P. I have uninstalled/reinstalled the apps. I have given the apps all the permissions. I have also disabled all apps from being able to perform a screen overlay over other apps which was a message I would get when trying to give the apps permissions to storage.
I still have the original Instagram and SnapChat folders on my 6P with photos in them before the 6.0.1 update but nothing is being saved to them ever since Don't know if there's anything else I can do or have to wait til Instagram or SnapChat release an update to fix the issue. Seems to be a few other people complaining about it from reading recent reviews of the apps.
Thought I'd check here if anyone had any solutions. Thanks

Yeah it's probably something Snapchat needs to fix. It's one of the drawbacks to being on the cutting edge. I don't know what you have tried already but you may try and booting to recovery and clearing cache. I would assume if your camera saves photos to the gallery then all is normal, besides your Snapchat.

Thanks for the quick response. I'll try that and see what happens. Yeah, no problems with pics/videos from the camera from being saved. And I actually am using an App called Instagram Photo Saver which allows me to save Instagram photos to my device which Google Photos is saving but the photos saved by the app are at a much lower resolution. But yes, SnapChat when I toogle enable storage access to SnapChat it does say "This app was designed for an older version of Android. Denying permission may cause it to no longer function as intended." Unfortunately, it's not working as intended either way.

Do you know if there is an issue using Snapchat filters on the 6P? I am getting a message that the device isn't supported.

Pushnotification Bug

Hi all,
last week, I decided to root my device and install xposed (3.0 alpha4) and a few modules, like Android N-ify, GalaxyXMod, GravityBox, YoutubeAdAway and Youtube Background Playback..
Everything works fine and I'm totally satisfied, but there is one big issue.
It seems, I have pushnotification problems. Sometimes when I open instantmessegers like
Whatsapp (also tried with GBWhatsapp) or Snapchat, the messages just come in when I launch the app.
So the problem is, that I sometimes get no Pushnotifications but when I launch Whatsapp an hour later,
there are 10+ new messages. Same procedure at Snapchat. It seems, that the apps just refresh when I open them.
I tried everything to fix this bugs, I updatet Samsungs Push Services, I allowed background data, I reinstalled the affected Apps but the problem is still there.
Then I decided to dont delete whatsapp from my recent apps and since them it seems it works.
Is there a way to get realtime notifications even the app is closed by recent apps, like before?
Is there anybody with an idea or a hint?
Thank you very much. Have a nice day.

I experience this with my WhatsApp messages, I thought it was something to with my WhatsApp, to be honest, I haven't noticed it with other apps.
I have the same problem with viber and whatsapp, it might be that way because of settings where you can save network data but im not 100% sure about that.

At Data-usage -> Background-data i turned on everything. So background-data should not be the problem here.
The thing is, that my colleague has the same xposed modules and the same root like me but he has no problems.
Also the problem is only present since i rooted and flashed xposed.
The issue is really disturbing.

If there are any news, I will let you know.

Facebook app crashes every time I open the app

Hi all,
So I've had my Nexus 6p for about 3 months now (since joining Project FI) and I can't say I've been overly impressed with this phone. The battery life is nothing special, speed and performance is below average and the amount of times my whatsapp crashes is infuriating.
However suddenly today afternoon my Facebook app has just decided to no longer work. I'll open the app and two seconds later I'm back to the home screen.
I've tried the following:
- Clearing the cache and the data from the App settings.
- Clearing the cache from Recovery mode.
- Factory reset.
- After each of the previous steps, I've uninstalled and re-installed the Facebook app.
Any other recommendations to try out before I ask for a replacement phone?
Thanks in advance.
Just to update. The app only crashes when I'm trying to load my news feed. If I go on my profile or open a notification, that loads fine.
Wait for an update, until then, use an older version. If the update/older version isn't solving the problem, then use the browser Facebook. :/

Thanks for that. Dumb question but how can I install a specific older version?
I am also having the same problem on my Nexus 5x.
Issue Resolved
A new version of Facebook came out today and I now no longer have the issue. Seems like the patch prior to this caused an issue.

Update to new Google apps from APKMirror

No way this is gonna work. Seriously it has syncing problems with some google apps such as Chrome, Play Games and this is really a shame for ZTE for such a messed up updated the so called MiFavor 5. They'd better release another update soon and fix this.

Why do you think it is a problem of the update though?? I had trouble with GApps on B01 and B06, and I could fix them on both. They stop working all of a sudden, sometimes after a reboot one will get frozen... it's because it's a Chinese ROM.
Try reinstalling it from zero and see if the problem is still there. The way to solve it is that one.

Is the Amazon App incompatible with the v20?

Ever since I bought this phone new in 2018 I've been extremely disappointed with it's performance. Lately I've been experiencing some extreme graphical glitching and lagging using the Amazon app. I just decided to freeze the amazon app. I recently did the thermal paste mod and noticed some slight Improvement. However after freezing Amazon I feel like I have a brand new phone. Has anyone else experienced problems with the Amazon app on the LG v20. I'm from the USA.
I'm attaching some screenshots. The App basically just flickers between various pictures. Or worse stays on the first picture. I edited\blurred my name and address.
I've used the Amazon shopping app in the US on my US996USC rooted with dirty santa and supersu since sometime in 2017 without issue. My wife has a VS995 (Verizon) rooted via dirty santa and magisk and has the Amazon app working without complaint (if an issue was there I'm sure I would hear all about it). What version of the V20 do you have?
Maybe some of the stock software on your version of V20 is conflicting with the Amazon app. Do you get the same slowdown / flicker if accessing Amazon via Chrome,Firefox, etc? Or maybe just force shutdown the Amazon app when not using it to obtian the performance benefits.
Also I deleted Facebook and a number of other stock applications I do not use (easy when rooted, somewhat harder without). Also I use greenify (works on unrooted phones) to cause most apps to sleep when I am not using them. Maybe one or the other might also help.
No problems on my side, either. OP, I noticed that you are using the Second Screen Status Bar mod and are hiding the regular status bar. Do you think the Amazon app may be clashing with that somehow?

Did you find out the cause for this? I have the same problem with the Amazon app but sometimes it happens elsewhere too. I don't have a v20 but running stock Oreo (8.0} on my axon 7.
The furthest I've gotten to fix it temporally is by choosing my address in Amazon and changing it back again. It seems like it's something to do with the address pop up message that causes the problem for me.

There is a bug in the latest version of chrome and web view that makes the screen flicker on some apps. To fix this you need to disable chrome and enable chrome and check do not auto update in the play store.
There is another fix you have to install the updated graphics driver. This driver is for oreo only lgv20, after you flash in twrp you must wipe dalvik cache. You must have root to be able to install the updated GPU drivers.
